2.34. Why does my hard numbers screen have a red border?

When I have done my quote and double-click in the subtotal field to view the hard numbers,the border is in red and I am used to seeing it in green. Why is it red?

We had tried them all... This is the only software that we feel REALLY WORKS & THINKS LIKE A SIGNMAKER PRICES. I & my employees can very quickly & easily price any level of sign, graphic, digital print or screen printing from the very basic to the very complex...all with the click of a mouse. And the most important factor is THAT AFTER THE SMOKE CLEARS & THE SIGN IS DELIVERED WE IMMEDIATELY KNOW HOW MUCH PROFIT WE MADE ON THE JOB! Setup is extremely easy & straight forward, some of the others required hours & hours of setup & configeration. Just fill out the overhead work sheet, set your market levels, put in your vendors, material markups and you're ready to accurately start pricing. You've got a REAL WINNER! This is a must for any sign shop.
